The
Board of Education and the administration, with the district’s dedicated
teaching staff, is the leadership team guiding the educational
opportunities of more than 6,000 students in the Valparaiso Community
Schools.

Through
a broad-based curriculum, special programs, and extracurricular
activities, the Valparaiso Community Schools has earned the reputation
for excellence in all areas of learning. This tradition of excellence is
based on the best cooperative efforts of the Board of Education,
administration, faculty, students, parents, and the community.

The
Valparaiso Community Schools (VCS) is composed of eight elementary
schools, two middle schools, a comprehensive high school, an alternative
high school, and a vocational high school. The school district seeks to
balance academic, physical, practical, social, and emotional needs so
that students value all facets of learning. Talented and creative
teachers develop relevant learning experiences to challenge students and
connect their learning through authentic means. In Valparaiso, the
range of programs offered and the individual attention provided students
gives each student ample opportunity for success. A concerted effort is
made to provide a standards-based curriculum, criterion-referenced
assessment plan, and formative and summative feedback to provide an
academic background to support the future goals of all students and to
provide academic assistance designed to prevent students from falling
behind.

The
Valparaiso Community Schools has made a commitment to excellence.
Parents and community members are invited to reinforce this commitment
by being involved in the schools and working together with faculty and
staff to provide the best educational opportunities for all Valparaiso
students.
